Art Welding - San Fernando Valley's Professional Fence Builders

In the San Fernando Valley, frequent causes for automatic gate misalignment include settling gate posts, worn hinges, or debris in the track. Heat expansion can also warp the gate frame. Our team inspects the entire system to find the exact cause—from the motor to the hinges—and then realigns the gate, adjusts the track, or repairs the components as needed.

Look for signs like panels that are bowing, buckling, or pulling away from the posts, especially after a stretch of hot weather. Fence expansion damage is common in the Valley. The solution often involves relieving the affected panels by trimming or re-securing them, and sometimes replacing damaged posts. Art Welding can assess the damage and recommend the most effective repair or replacement to restore your fence's strength.

Sagging manual gates usually stem from loose hinges, a rotted or bent post, or a heavy gate that has pulled its supports out of alignment. In many cases, we can replace the hinges, reinforce the post, and realign the gate to get it swinging smoothly again. Only if the gate itself is severely warped or rusted through would we recommend a full replacement. We'll give you an honest, straightforward assessment.
